Premigration considerations: Reverse maps on connectors

Determine whether applications with response flows have reverse maps associated with their outbound connectors. If they do not, then a generic SMO is returned in the response.

Some of the applications you have created for WebSphere InterChange Server or WebSphere Business Integration Server Express might not include reverse maps on outbound connector ports. This situation would occur where you are not concerned with the contents of the results returned by the response. Be aware, however, that IBM BPM requires that a valid SMO be returned for all mediation flow components with two-way invocations. Therefore, IBM BPM returns a generic SMO in mediation flow components that do not have reverse maps.
